no matter意為“不管;無論”,是從屬連詞。其后常接疑問詞what,which,who,whom,where,whose,when,how等,用來引導(dǎo)讓步狀語從句。從句既可放在主句之前,也可放在主句之后。在應(yīng)用時(shí)要注意以下三點(diǎn):
1.注意被修飾的名詞、形容詞以及副詞的位置
(1)what、which在從句中可作主語、賓語、表語或定語。nomatterwhat/which修 飾名詞作定語時(shí),該名詞必須緊跟其后。 No matter which method you have been using,today you must do as I tell you. 不管你一直使用什么方法,今天你必須按我說的做。 No matter what problems you have,come to me for help. 不管你有什么問題,都可以來找我。 (2)how修飾形容詞或副詞時(shí),該形容詞或副詞也必須緊跟其后。 No matter how difficult it is,you should try your best to solve the problem. 不管多難,你都應(yīng)該盡全力解決這個(gè)問題。
2.注意從句的時(shí)態(tài)
由 no matter what/who/where/when/which等引導(dǎo)的讓步狀語從句,我們通常用一般現(xiàn)在時(shí)代替一般將來時(shí),用一般過去時(shí)代替過去將來時(shí)。如:
No matterwhatyoudo,Iwon'tchangemy mind.
不論你干什么,我都不會(huì)改變主意。
No matterwhichbook youchose,youwould learn alot.
無論你選擇哪本書,你都會(huì)學(xué)到很多東西。
